MapOut Positive Reviews

Brilliant!I think after 10 years of using iOS, this is the first app I have reviewed. I have several tools I use for navigating while hiking and biking, but there are several standout features of MapOut. First, offline maps are a must, and the OpenStreetMaps are pretty good, and include topography and many trails/paths in addition to roads. Second, .GPX import works very well, and routes are easily named and organized. Graphs for elevation of the route are clear. Third, the method of creating new routes is genius. Double clicking sets the start point, and then you drag over map features (roads, trails, etc) to draw the route. The app snaps the route to known features, but also allows for “off trail” routes. Very intuitive and fast. Finally, a feature that I have always wanted, is you can set a start end end point on a particular route, and it overlays mileage and elevation from that point. So, for example, on a multi-day trip you can set the day’s starting point and have all statistics begin at that point. Great work!.Thew3Version: 3.4.10

Really great offline featuresI purchased this because nothing else really worked well for areas where there is spotty cell reception. I do a lot of backcountry trail runs and typically use something like Strava or Google Maps in offline mode for general geolocation. Strava doesn’t work without a cell signal, and frequently tries to close the app that I’ve had open, at which point the route is gone is cell signal is unavailable. Google Maps offline is just not really very good at all, not detailed enough, though it does show your spot on a map. MapOut is 100% offline downloadable with detailed trails and extra abilities like creating routes beforehand. It is extreme reliable and is really a panacea for mapping with little cell signal. The maps are so detailed, sometimes I pull it up inside the city to find new trails or routes. It reminds me of those dedicated Garmin Explorer GPS devices. MapOut is very cool, and very worth the money..Lolfhdhrff36Version: 3.4.9

Money well spentI purchased this app mainly for its feature of allowing me to draw routes (called tours). I find this indispensable when hiking in the wilderness. Before I depart, I will plan the route by drawing different tours. The app very helpfully places mile markers on my route and includes inclination information to help me decide. When I'm out in the wilderness without cell reception, I won't get lost at an unsigned junction because I can simply open the app and check my current location overlaid with the drawn tour. I used to just guess where I am on a map and have deviated from my planned route for a few times. That doesn't happen any more with this app! To be sure, there are unnecessary gimmicks like the 3D tilt, but I understand those features might be unnecessary for me but necessary for others, and they don't get in the way. Overall, I consider the $5 I spent very worthwhile..WannabeUXConnoisseurVersion: 3.4.7

Best app on my phoneI have been using MapOut for years to track hikes and paddle trips. It helps me find alternate routes, track mileage, and keep track of where I’ve already been when exploring an area repeatedly. I love being able to use it offline without eating network or battery. The only tiny complaint is that if you’re somewhere very steep, like the Alps, it has a hard time holding a steady GPS perspective and then draws a zigzag, increasing your recorded mileage. But this is a tiny thing relative to overall great value without a subscription..AP94941Version: 3.4.11

Absolute hidden gem.It blows my mind how this app isn’t more widely used for backpacking. Initial investment garners so much value - rightly beautiful maps, easy to navigate UI, great features. and most of all elevation profiles in real time (something others lack beyond dedicated trail apps). I thought it would be easier just to upload a .gpx file from a desktop 3rd party client but using this app’s native toolset was so much easier. Cannot recommend enough - I hope the developers keep this app up to date as it will be my #1 used app for my trips. 🥳.MichaelaulieuVersion: 3.3.2

Pretty goodThis app seems to hit a load of points that are important to me - distance, elevation. It has a pretty cool 3d option to look at the terrain. It is relatively easy to use and I found it downloads the Maps I need relatively fast and big enough area that it is easy to nab the maps before going off the network. I am still slightly stumped when the app will be able to select a trail- it doesn’t seem to work unless one is currently on the trail, but that sometimes does seem to work either 🤷‍♂️ A few things I would like: Be able to enter some coordinates and go to that spot. And One thing that seems to be missing on all map apps- hiking - is a searchable database of places. This app is no different as far as I can tell. Like recently I wanted to get in the area of cutthroat pass and look at the hike- I know exactly where it is or I have to use some other app to find it and then come back to this app..DougXNVersion: 3.4.10

Simple, stellar, and cheapI've been using MapOut for about a year and now consider it an essential app. It has all the features you need for planning routes before a trip or way-finding once you are there. I've used it to stay on snow-covered hiking trails in Colorado and to navigate the ancient footpaths along Italy's Amalfi Coast (and to just record walks in local parks). And you can't beat the price! One-time fee versus annual subscriptions other apps change. Try this app and you won't be sorry - it will be your new constant companion!.Carrie3630Version: 3.1.5

AwesomeI think the strength of this app is how you create routes. It is truly easy. I have used this app to plan several multi day bike packing trips and MapOut is my favorite gps app without a doubt. It is also easy to use “in the field”. Last year my preplanned route was obstructed by a massive forest fire. It took me no time to reroute and redraw. I also dig how the detailed maps download, it is intuitive, quick to load, and it allows you to adjust the map boundaries as your adventure grows..Mr ShayVersion: 3.1.5

Amazing valueI got tired of paying 30-40 dollars a year for the big name trail apps just for the ability to download offline maps. MapOut is an awesome alternative to that, giving you basic topographic maps of anywhere with only the useful info. I used it to map a backpacking circuit in Glacier National Park and it’s worked awesome so far. I can’t speak for the record features because I only use it for mapping, but the tour planning features are useful and easy to use. Easy five stars..UnpleasedVersion: 3.4.11

Best offline hiking appI have been using this app for about a month now and I love it. The maps that are used are more accurate then AllTrails in my experience. I had 2 trails that ended early on all my other hiking apps by 0.5 miles except for mapout. I use many of the included features available. They also have a pdf showing all the features of the app which is Awesome. Strongly recommend this app!.VicuvicuVersion: 3.4

Great app. Needs Watch supportThis app does amazing stuff. I finally purchased it after friends described it. My only gripe is that it doesn’t support the Apple Watch. Am I the only one who thinks this would be terrific? A tap on the wrist when approaching a waypoint or junction. Or when you wander off the route. Or when your heart rate exceeds a set point. How far to the top of the hill? How steep is this trail I am hiking? So much info to be had without having to hold your phone in your hand..Disappointed mapperVersion: 3.4.12

Stable and reliable map app.I’ve been using this app for 5 years +. I travel world wide and can download a map for any location for offline use or where cell roaming is costly. It’s GPS reliability is stable and speed and elevation are accurate. I trail hike a lot and it is invaluable in low cell reception areas. Its maps are world coverage. Absolutely must need for all map uses. GREAT!!.VGD60Version: 3.4.12

Excellent offline mappingBest app we’ve found for offline mapping when hiking or cycling outside of cellular coverage. Using Open Street Maps as the mapping source results in very efficient map storage and no ongoing subscription costs. This is a great alternative for those of us who have been driven away from Gaia Maps by ever increasing subscription costs and renewal policies..Leann MVersion: 3.4.12

Best AppMap out is the most useful app I have. The ability to see maps and your current location offline is invaluable. I recently had a foot a flat tire in the middle of Oregon wilderness and used it to see my location and tell AAA where my car was. Without this I wouldn’t have been able to get help and could have been stranded. I could not be more thankful for this app..PdxpplVersion: 3.3.6

I never review anythingSeriously. This is the best bike touring and hike mapping app ever. I regularly meet tourists on the road that show me whatever mapping thing they use, and it’s never even close to as good. MapOut would be amazing at any price. At this price it’s just a steal. I’d 100% pay again for a Mac version so I could do all my route planning in it..GuyUnsuallyQuietVersion: 3.4.12

The Best! Simple and Easy to Use!Best app ever! I mapped out rides and then exported them to another app. But (I’m a little slow) once I realized this app also mapped and followed me as I traveled I was ecstatic! Riding the dirt and gravel roads out in the middle of nowhere in Oregon, on my Honda Africa Twin, I always know where I am and where I should go. A must have and so easy to use. Worth it!.43alaskaVersion: 3.2.1

This app is essentialLast week while off-roading in Death Valley, because we had google maps (and not Map out) we took a wrong turn and got stuck for 3 days. If we had this app we would have spent those 3 days at a cabin. Don’t go anywhere without this app anymore.BdhdhxbshdbdhdbdhdhdhdjVersion: 3.3.6

Impressive!So far I’m really impressed by this app - it’s really easy to use, offers a strong suite of functions, and is visually gorgeous. That said, I would encourage the developers to keep adding POIs, especially those relevant to outdoor activities! A campsite overlay, for example, would be so helpful for off-grid adventures. Thanks!.Wanus123459Version: 3.3.6

Best maps to use when out & aboutQuality of the maps & the fact that it downloads all the data to your phone makes this the best route tracking app I’ve found. Works easily, quickly, and reliably..De2r2Version: 3.1.6

MapOut is awesomeWho need to buy a Garmin when mapout does so much? Heading to Italy for a five week tour and plan to use mapout on my iPhone. Downloading gpx files is so incredibly easy too. Routes are easy to organize into folders. I don’t see a reason to have any other map program..JimtoitalyVersion: 3.1.6

Out of townThis app is perfect for traveling. Especially if you have 0 cell service. Also good for camping and everything else. I tend to use it in Honduras when I visit..PrboyceVersion: 3.4.12

Could this be the best everBeen using ride with GPS for 4 years , but so far this blows that away, and I haven’t seemed to scratch the surface of it’s intuitive interface. Thankyou.GlooserVersion: 3.4.10

Needs better organisationI'd like to be able to bulk move tours to a folder, please. Otherwise, this is the very best hiking app there is. Amazing, yet simple..Wasp604Version: 3.1.6

Almost perfectI do a lot of driving on backroads, and this is the best app I’ve used for downloading offline maps, and recording tracks. Simple and clean user experience. Would be perfect (5 stars) if it had CarPlay support..DcmmngsVersion: 3.4.12

Outstanding appThis app is outstanding. The best map app I have…. Nothing else comes close..JeffroboVersion: 3.4.11

Outstanding!Nothing else come close and I’ve tried them all..RobertshalitVersion: 3.1.6

Worked great on 5 week Ireland-France bike tourUsed the app extensively for self guided bicycle tour. It worked great. Made route planning very easy as well as following and adjusting the routes..HecondubqobsVersion: 3.1.5

Must have for any adventurerI don’t know why this app is so hidden. If you hike, bike or paddle, this app is a must..PhaskinsVersion: 3.4.12

Best outdoor map app in the AppStoreAnd constantly being improved upon.MrGonzalesVersion: 3.2

Great. Used for cycling and hikingGreat maps Easy to use Create or find routes. Sharing.....Bcb yVersion: 3.1.5

Good for finding trailsPretty darn good. Some minor trail versus location offset at times but still good..EdgarSonneborgVersion: 3.1.5

Excellent for tracking and sharing routes!Yes, the OSM-based maps are clean and elegant. Offline-viewing of selected tiles is easy and nicely implemented. The tilting/perspective feature is slick. But to my mind the ability to easily record, manage, and share your route data is the killer feature here. You can easily email yourself the route data as GPX files (easily converted to geojson) and thus render it on your own custom maps. All in all, this is clean, simple, well-focused app, well worth 5 bones..JoyrexusVersion: 2.3.2

MapOut is a good complement to Swiss Map MobileThe Swiss are world-leading cartographers and cartophiles. Their maps are excellent, and they love them. The best Swiss topo map is called swisstopo. It is produced by the Swiss government's Bundesamt fuer Landestopografie. It shows every building in the whole country. A few years ago Mr. Garzotto brought out an iPhone app "Swiss Map Mobile", based on swisstopo map tiles. It's great, but it can be expensive depending on how you use it, and it doesn't store all of its map data in the iPhone, so you can find yourself far from civilization with no Internet connection and no map. The maps for MapOut appear to be derived from the open-source OpenStreetMaps project. While OpenStreetMaps for Switzerland are of very good quality, they are not quite up to the standard of swisstopo. The strength of MapOut is that the application includes *all* of its map data for Switzerland, some 500MB. While you're navigating, an Internet connection is unnecessary. On the other hand, your iPhone needs more than 500MB of free memory to load the app. MapOut is new, and still lacks functionality as compared, for example, with Swiss Map Mobile or MotionX GPS. But even v1.0 of MapOut is a valuable complement to my other nav apps, and I look forward to more functionality in future versions..American in SwitzerlandVersion: 1.0

Terrific Map CompanionI purchased MapOut before traveling in Italy and it worked beautifully. I was off cell service the entire trip and MapOut helped navigate cities and countryside easily. Amazing map detail and elegant design. The only future enhancement that would be a real plus is if you could drop a pin at the day's starting or end point as a reference for navigating thru the day. Thanks for a terrific mapping solution for off the grid travel adventures!.Bill in MplsVersion: 2.2.2

The best app for Swiss mapsI bought this app after arriving in Switzerland and needing some form of offline maps for the bike touring and hiking I had planned. 1.5 weeks into my adventures and I am so very thankful to have this app. It is fast, easy to use and the information it provides for elevation, distance and locations of bike routes is extremely valuable. It even allowed me to find some routes online an send them to the app for comparison and reference alongside the built in national route data. And it's all offline so I can use it everywhere! Also I reached out with questions and the developers were very friendly and helpful! Buy this app!.ZachhaleVersion: 1.1.1

Great app for cyclingGreat app that I downloaded because a pro cyclist team director (a big team btw) was using it in the car. It'd be amazing if we could add markers for climb categories, sprints, feed zones... (basically icons from the Tour de France stage profiles). And also track how far those markers and finish are from the current position. Map quality is outstanding..Matt3637Version: 3.1.1

Great appI love that it quietly records stuff without needing the display. I was out for 2 hours using it on my iPOD touch with the Bad Elf GPS for lightning, and it just sipped power. Two things I could wish for: average speed on a saved trip, and the ability to mark, save, and tag a single waypoint..Richardf8Version: 2.4.3

Efficient offline hiking mapsBest map app I have seen for hikers and bikers: topological maps allowing quick profiles, accurate trail and road data, efficient memory use for maps and tracks..Bear2014CaVersion: 3.0.3

Impressive follow-up!I had a number of problems with this at first, so I contacted the company. They bent over backwards to help and explain, and after several exchanges, things worked out nicely. These folks are highly professional and service oriented, so I am happy to herein modify my original review. Thank you Michael and Stefan!.Beaumont SweetiesVersion: 3.1

Beautiful!Gorgeous graphics and fantastic user interface. Buy this if you live or spend time in Switzerland!.Marc LiyanageVersion: 1.0

Great, but...I absolutely love this app, but they need some bug fix updates quickly. It crashes far too often. I like the app enough to deal with these annoying interruptions for now, but I hope the fixes will be forthcoming..MarkTroupVersion: 3.0.3

Best Offline Map App!Fast and beautiful!.Contra33Version: 1.0

Decent appDecent app, good detailing and till view is more useful than I originally thought it would be. Huge downside: developers please add the ability to tag and label locations for future reference..JakecwuVersion: 2.1

Good app with vector mapsPros: Awesome smooth vector maps with OpenStreetMap data! Cons: there are POIs displayed from OSM, but from a very few categories. Data is not loaded from OpensStreetMap servers but updated regularly.BK_manVersion: 2.1

Absolutely love MapOutThough my iPad plus protective case weighs a couple or pounds, MapOut is always in my backpack. The ability to zoom in down to a foot accuracy (it seems) makes it easy to avoid going down a wrong path. Accurate distance and elevation data during a hike is also great to have. I color code all my hikes by year to see when and where I did a hike on the map..BloodySushiTheGreatVersion: 3.4.8

Great offline mapI took a $5 chance on this app … what a payoff! I plan city walking tours for all of my travels. MapOut makes it easy to import those tours as gpx files. Offline maps work very well. It comes with maps of the entire world fir the “first several” zoom levels. As you zoom in more, you need to tell the app to download more maps tiles. I was afraid this would be cumbersome, especially if you wanted very detailed street level maps. But it’s very easy! I tend to stay zoomed out to the city level and then select the tile that encompasses the city … that will download all the zoomed in tiles for the city as well. I love how waypoints are clearly titled on the map. The elevation data is a nice touch … MapOut adds it if your gpx file did not contain it. Being able to draw a new route from within the app is also nice. I could go on, but you get the idea … I’m very happy with this purchase. I like it a lot better than the free maps.me app I was using for the same purpose. MapOut is much better suited for route planning and following. I don’t really have any gripes. But, I wonder why the app won’t import kml files … it will export to kml, just not import. Fortunately converting my existing kml files online is pretty easy..Bgde2Version: 3.4.8

The best OSM app for iOS.This app is amazing! I use it for driving, biking, and it’s amazing for Paraglading! Really great interface and updates are fast and well executed! Thanks for a wonderful app! Update... Start Date 73120. Still the best OSM app out there. Excellent updates and Ooo so very useful. Use for navigation on a bike, in a car, while paragliding, and even sometimes flying..LarkinosheaVersion: 3.4

Awesome update sort ofI was always impressed with the app's ability to draw routes by hand and snap to the road network. The recent update introduces a number of improvements and features I felt were either once lacking or are totally unique. This is my new favorite app alongside Maps.me. Update: After using the app with the new update I find one thing annoying...the stylized "arrow" is difficult to see. I would prefer a triangle shape just like in the app icon. If something is wrong with this opinion at least give the users a choice of the standard triangular arrow or the fancy kind. Lastly, the arrow almost always points in the wrong direction, especially when in motion such as riding in a car. I'm sure this is just a bug that can be fixed..AhikananaVersion: 3.1.1

Simple and IntuitiveThis superb app has been my primary navigation tool while cycling from Vancouver towards Patagonia over the past six months. The interface is clean, straightforward to use and free of unnecessary distractions. Aside from a nominal onetime fee, the biggest highlight for me has been the ease of drawing/creating new routes on the fly without need to be online. Can’t recommend it enough!.@yanntwowheelsVersion: 3.4.12

Un excellent GPSJe l’utilise depuis plus de deux ans. Il a remplacer toute mes autres apps de navigation. Je fais mes trajet dans Google MyMaps et me les envois en KML. Pas d’utilisation de données ne télécharge que les maps nécessaire. Je recommande..LekopsVersion: 3.4.10

PerfectI was looking for an app that was similar to Google Offline maps but with smaller tiles and more functionality. This app does the trick. It also allows GPX uploads and sharing. It is possible to create routes right in the app. Powerful app and I use it often for all my cycling and hiking adventures. The documentation is stellar too.._skeeter_Version: 3.4.4

Extraordinary!Amazing App. Highly recommended..Invisible WatersVersion: 3.3.4

Very good!!Excellent for easily and quickly creating tracks with waypoints.HkonstasVersion: 3.1.6

Excellent maps appNicely presented, good feature set, and not overly cluttered. Sticks to the essentials for a Topo Maps app, with ease of use plus very nice route making capabilities. I’ve looked long and hard at many Topo apps, and they all fall short in important ways (with the exception of Pocket Earth). So glad I finally found MapOut and it’s free downloadable maps..Mrym9mVersion: 3.1.5

Blown away!I have been using all sorts of methods to track and plan routes offline when I take long bike tours. This app rocks - I create gpx routes with waypoints before my trip (I do that on my PC), then import them here and download the maps that surround the routes. On my iPad, I can then plan the next day's ride even without Internet access. Ten stars!.Emailer52648Version: 3.1.1

Awesome AppWorks really well and nice and simple..Ken, Christine and ErinVersion: 2.3.2

Good map appsThis app is a very nice add-on if you are one of those who enjoy working with digital mapping. The apps does not provide lat/long or other type of coordinates (yet but could be added to a future version?). Overall, it gives quick info based on openstreetmaps..LostmuleVersion: 2.2.2

MapOut Negative Reviews

Difficult to use and missing featuresDownloaded this while looking for openstreetmaps compatible apps. There are some awkward UI issues, like how it doesn't automatically download lower levels without explicitly requesting them, or how I can't search for places that I haven't downloaded, even when I have cell service. It lacks satellite views which is a must for some cell/wifi-capable outdoor areas. Also, deleting downloaded data is an all-or-nothing deal. Overall, I don't see myself using this very much..ChrismendezVersion: 2.4.3
